The role of emotional agility in leadership and transformation

Insightful talk about rigid denial, forced positivity, and emotional suppression.

This talk about grief and apartheid is gripping. Psychologist Susan David tells us how we learn to accept and grieve through authenticity and truth telling.

In her childhood she experienced first hand how journalling her truth helped her moved through “the rigidity of denial.” David notes that being positive has become a new kind of moral correctness: “it’s a tyranny of positivity.”

Psychologist Susan David shares how the way we deal with our emotions shapes everything that matters: our actions, careers, relationships, health and happiness. In this deeply moving, humorous and potentially life-changing talk, she challenges a culture that prizes positivity over emotional truth and discusses the powerful strategies of emotional agility. A talk to share.
